I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 251 Counterattack
There is no doubt that the Steel Association executives' claim that this operation was aimed at Sonoko Suzuki has already had a negative impact.

The first-class passengers had their eyes fixed on Sonoko Suzuki, with a hint of disgust in their gazes—this was always the case with them; when faced with a choice between the strong and the weak, they would always choose the relatively weaker one.

Given the lawless tendencies of these thugs, Sonoko Suzuki would never have been able to walk off the plane alive.

Therefore, their apprehension towards the Suzuki Group gradually decreased as the time since the plane hijacking increased.
The flames of hatred in my heart are growing every second.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Conan's eyes.

As a renowned detective, he had witnessed the good and evil aspects of human nature more than once. Now, these people had their evil side stirred up by the black-masked thugs, who did nothing about it.

Their purpose in doing so is all too obvious.

By shifting the blame, they directed all the passengers' anger towards Sonoko Suzuki, who was also a victim, and even encouraged these passengers to harm Sonoko Suzuki, thereby satisfying their desire for revenge.

So, there's only one thing that can be foreseen.

As long as there are still people on Suzuki Sonoko's side, those passengers who dislike Suzuki Sonoko because of Black Mask's words will definitely not make a move. Black Mask is probably observing the situation now.

They are screening people who don't dislike Sonoko Suzuki.

The Black Mask will most likely eliminate that group of people, thus creating a moral vacuum for those passengers, a variation of the murder case on the Orient Express that Poirot once experienced.

As Conan thought about this, his mood grew increasingly heavy.

—The Orient Express Murder Case.

A famous masterpiece in the history of world detective fiction.

At the time, apart from the famous detective Hercule Poirot and two people unrelated to the deceased, the remaining thirteen people in one carriage of the Orient Express were all the murderers. Twelve of them stabbed the victim with deadly daggers until he was killed.

Because of the perpetrator's notorious crimes, the other passengers felt disgust towards him.

The black-masked man seemed to be intentionally creating a similar scene on flight SKJ865.
All they had to do was remove the detective Poirot from their control.

Conan knows who "Detective Poirot" is.

It's Uncle Mori, it's Ran, it's Aunt Hina, it's Chaki Shintaro.

Even some members of the Junior Detective League are on Black Mask's kill list.

"I don't understand... why is this happening?"

"I don't know you at all!"

Feeling the increasingly oppressive atmosphere inside the first-class cabin,
Sonoko Suzuki finally lost control of her emotions. She looked up and questioned the masked leader.

This thug, who had recently opened fire and randomly killed a big star,
At this moment, however, he spoke with impeccable manners.

"Ms. Suzuki, you don't know me, but I know you."

“You may not remember, but your parents certainly do. It was during the time when your Suzuki Group was expanding wildly that my family business got in your way, and then you ruthlessly crushed it.”

"Fragmented"

The voice from the black-masked man carried a hint of inexplicable emotion.
he said,
“Even my parents died at your hands, so I will make you, all of you, feel the same pain—don’t worry, Miss Suzuki, after you meet the Grim Reaper who ferries you across the Sanzu River,”

"Your parents will also be down to be with you soon." — What?!

A hint of panic appeared in Sonoko Suzuki's eyes.

She had no idea that this was even possible.

How could Mom and Dad commit murder for the sake of the Suzuki Group's expansion?
Moreover, the hijackers in front of her were not only going to attack her, but also her parents, which was unacceptable. She was about to get up, but the gun was pointed at her, forcing her to sit back down.

"Now is not the time for you to end your life."

"Please wait a moment..."

The gun in the black-masked man's hand swung arbitrarily, as if he might pull the trigger at any moment and fire that deadly bullet. Most of the people in the first-class cabin were terrified by this.

Only a small minority of people behaved differently.
A smirk played on his lips. The next moment, he gripped the pistol tightly, a shot rang out, and the bullet tore through the air, flying towards the nearest Ran Mouri. He had seen it—

This unicorn girl seems to have no aversion to Sonoko Suzuki whatsoever.

They truly are sisters who have been together since childhood. However, that's enough for now. Having observed this far and built up the atmosphere to this point, it's time to clear out those unnecessary fellows and let the real show begin.

Black Mask didn't think there was anything unexpected about his action of shooting and killing Ran Mouri.
In the end, she's just a female high school student; what surprises can she possibly bring?

Upon seeing the black-masked man fire his gun, both Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were momentarily shocked. Then, in the next instant, Ran Mouri dodged the bullet at close range.

The only effect of that bullet was to hit her hair, creating a hole in the middle of her straight, long hair.

A look of shock flashed in the black-masked man's eyes.
The next moment, Ran Mouri delivered a powerful side kick, striking the black-masked man's pistol and instantly knocking it from his hand. She then spun forward, delivering a karate chop to the black-masked man's neck.

If she hits him, she's sure Black Mask will faint.

The instant Ran Mouri retaliated, the other thugs in first class immediately raised their pistols and aimed them at her. But before they could fire, Kogoro Mouri and Shintaro Chaki simultaneously attacked.
The two men, who were once considered elites within the police force, immediately disarmed the two thugs.

With a sudden over-the-shoulder throw, he slammed the assailant to the ground.

Before the other two assailants could react,

Ai Haibara and Conan simultaneously pressed the launch button on their hypnosis watches. The hypnotic needles immediately flew out, striking the remaining two thugs. As they swayed, Eri Kisaki followed up with a blow to the back of their necks.
They were immediately knocked unconscious.

—Although Eri Kisaki seems to be the least physically capable member of the Mouri family, she once subdued a knife-wielding assailant in an instant while wearing high heels during her first meeting with Conan.

This can be considered the result of the special training he underwent after being kidnapped by Murakami Takeshi.

However, Eri Kisaki was also somewhat surprised by her own results. She herself did not know that her hand strike could have such an effect. On the other side, Ran Mouri briefly exchanged blows with Black Mask and knocked Black Mask to the ground with a side kick.

Shinjo Kō casually flicked a tranquilizer dart from his sleeve, instantly striking the black-masked man's body.

Black Mask immediately fainted as well.

We are safe.
